YOUR COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE TO CARDBOARD RECYCLING
Understanding Cardboard Recycling
Cardboard is one of the most commonly used packaging materials worldwide. While it's biodegradable, recycling cardboard is more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. Cardboard recycling not only conserves resources but also reduces the demand for landfill space and reduces the energy required to produce new cardboard.
What Constitutes Cardboard for Recycling?
Cardboard can be broadly categorized into:
-
Corrugated Cardboard: Typically used in packaging boxes, it has a wavy inner layer between two flat layers.
-
Paperboard or Chipboard: A thinner type of cardboard used for items like cereal boxes or shoeboxes.
-
Waxed Cardboard: Often used for produce boxes or milk cartons, but it's less commonly accepted for recycling due to the wax coating.
Tips for Effective Cardboard Recycling:
-
Keep it Clean: Ensure that the cardboard is free from food residue, as contaminated cardboard can't be recycled.
-
Flatten the Boxes: This saves space in recycling bins and facilities.
-
Remove Non-Cardboard Materials: Items like plastic wrappers, styrofoam, or packing peanuts should be separated before recycling.
